Washingtonil Thirumanam
By:
- Synopsis
- “Washingtonil Thirumanam” (Marriage in Washington) by Saavi ( S. Viswanathan) is a humorous fiction. A hilarious hit widely read by the Tamil readers of the 1960s, the fiction was serialized in the popular Tamil magazine, “Ananda Vikatan”. In this fiction, the author stretches his imagination, visualizing a marriage of a typical Brahmin family being held in Washington, U.S., with the patronage of Mrs. and Mr. Rockefeller. All things essential for marriage are taken from India to Washington and all arrangements are carried over there. Though the story displays how the Americans wonder and evince interest to know the marriage rituals, traditions and customs of Tamil Brahmins, it actually vividly brings out the rationale of those customs in a lighter vein.
